A message concerning Taurik, pwease read.
« on: January 25, 2004 03:05 am CST »
Dear friends,
     Thank you for reading this, as there is something which I need to talk about. One of my best friends, Taurik, is not able to get on his character, all he sees is a black screen, and he can only use the console to talk. It has been almost two weeks now that I have not seen him, and I'm greatly worried that he may not be able to come on as Taurik again. It's just not fair that someone so nice as him would not be able to come on the server :(
     Without one of my friends, this magical world doesn't seem the same. I know all of you are magical people :), and I especially thank the people who keep the server running, for keeping such a magical place open to everyone. I truly thank you for that :)
     Lately though, I find myself unable to be so happy as I was before. Knowing Taurik's character is experiencing problems for so long is deeply saddening me. I don't want to level or explore or anything until I know he's back. I find myself unable to do much at all besides casting heal spells to train defensive casting. Lately I have kept myself locked away in Arkemn's tower because I don't want to explore anymore knowing that Taurik is not able to come on his character. You'll probably find me in the tower on the bed, no amount of heal spells can cure the tears and hurt I am feeling.
     Even though you all have done enough for me by just creating such a magical world, I still want to ask a favor. If you can, would you please help Taurik's character? I am sorry that I am sad, but that is all I can feel besides the loneliness at the tower. I find that I cannot leave this tower until I know Taurik is back and able to use his character, which he poured his heart into. I know this is a very big favor to ask, but I could not be quiet any longer. I would even give up my own character if I had to, just to see that Taurik could have his character back. I know that anyone who is reading this is a magical person, for being nice enough to read this, and anyone who can fix this is a magical person too. Won't you pretty please help Taurik out? I would be so happy if you would :) :) :)
     I'm sorry to ask such a big favor, but it hurts knowing that someone could fix Taurik's character, and it hasn't been done yet :( if you can, please please help him, he's the nicest person this server has ever seen and he definitely deserves to be back. I'm asking, won't you find it in your sweet caring hearts to help him out? Again, I'm sowwy for being so sad, but how can I be happy when Taurik is not able to use his character? :( It would be so nicey nice if someone could fix his character for him :) :) :) :) :)
     Sorry that was so long, but I've been sad for a long time now. thank you so much for reading this. awww, you are so nice :) thanks for caring :) I wasn't that sad at first, but it kept building up, seeing such a nice person like Taurik have to deal with this, he really put his heart into that character, it would mean the world to me if he could see the world through his character's eyes once again, and see the magical world you all have defined with your very hearts. :) thank you thank you so much for reading this, and thank you even more for caring, and thank you even more for helping :)
     Bye bye all, and awwwwwwwwwwwwww, thanks for reading this :) you are so nice. Please post to show your support of Taurik, thanks!

                                                                                Yours truly,
                                                                       Hidama_Hinotama

P.S. sorry I had to make a second account, but I tried to do the first one with my own email account, I couldn't get the email :( so I had to use someone elses. sorry about that! :)

What is taurik's AIM/ICQ?  I can fix his character now, but it will be reset.  I think particle can do it without resetting it, but if he doesn't want to wait, I can do it ;)

I believe this happened to Krillin a long time ago.  Did he ever get his fixed?

This is ridiculous. I started another character to pass the time while I wait, and now the same thing has happened. Two characters, two black screens.

The only thing the two ruined characters have in common is that the problem happened immediately after typing #savecharacter and disconnecting. The first time I disconnected because I had to restart tribes, the second time I disconnected because the server crashed (perpetual red phonejack). Upon reconnecting, black screen.

So, ADVISORY: Do not use #savecharacter and then disconnect soon after, as it MAY result in a destroyed character when you next connect.

...Either that or someone in PCRPG really hates me and has the power to let me know about it. :-P

taurik, i remember this happening a long time ago before i quit, alot of noobs and new chars were having the same problem, they would log on, do #savechar and their screen and such would be black next time they logged on, i think a bug might be back

Wow you guys, thanks for being so supportive, and yes, Taurik IS that nice. Somebody who puts into mining to make money instead of stealing, you got to have respect for that :D
Sorry my post sounded so sad, but now I feel a little happier. I'm hoping Particle will fix Taurik's character, and I'll remember never to type #savecharacter again :)
Thank you all so much for saying nice things, maybe Particle will spare some time to fix Taurik's character, I really really hope so :) I at least hope he posts something here.
As for me, I'll still be in the tower, visit me if you like, I'm not able to come out until I at least hear that Taurik's character is ok. So please Particle, can you spare some time in your life and space in your heart and help Taurik's character? I would be really happy if you would :) :) :)

** UPDATE....Again **

OK, I think I have figured out the problem. It took four dead characters worth of testing, but I got to the bottom of it. The problem is a bug (you might even call it an exploit, if you could convince some dumbass to type it) with #setinfo. NOT #savecharacter as I originally speculated. I usually include this code in my info:

<Bh_friend.bmp><f2>-- If you see this, you hax!

It's meant to be a joke. ;) The <Bh_friend.bmp> causes the picture h_friend.bmp from your /TRIBES/RPG/ folder to be displayed. Since, by default, this file is a blank picture, you would only see it if you've edited it (thus, you hax! hehe)... SO, anyway, the problem occurs when you use a special character in your #setinfo. In my case, I used "", but presumably it can happen with anything. So I suggest only using letters, numbers, and < / > in your info. Unless you like the black death...

Proposed way to repair someone's file damaged in this way: Remove any special characters from their info.


...I'm glad I figured this out now, as opposed to waiting until Taurik is fixed, and using that string again -- only to repeat this whole Godforsaken process. lol

If I could only get your character to spawn, I could load his ID and change his info..  I'll continue working on it and see if I can figure it out.

hmm.

I would wager that is is a combination of info problems if it is caused by the info field.

There was some concearn running around about having the "-" mark in conjunction with and open "<" or ">" mark.  The dash, left angle bracket and right angle bracket all seem to cause problems on different mods when you type them in to the wrong places.

You problem will probably by cause by the:
"<--" in the profile (as it is an open bracket, and open brackets with out closes can cause problems in code)  The dash causing problems is just a suspect idea due to other mods not responding well to them.

In console I think you can change the character info problem by manually typing in the code to change your info to some thing else.  Rather than putting the open bracket, try putting in an alternate phrase like "See that picture to the left?  If you can, you hax!"

Also... don't forget #addinfo. ;-)

I don't remember how to say stuff through the console though. :-p
I'll post back once I go and read what I think may help.

Well, to say 'Hey gang!' globally, in console you'd type:

Code: [Select]
say(0,"#global Hey gang!");

So ya..it can be useful to type very long messages.
